  6. Disseminated and focal pulmonary TB
    25-27: miliary, subacute/chronic disseminated, focal TB.
  7. Infiltrative and destructive pulmonary TB

  8. TB emergencies and extrapulmonary TB
    34-40: pulmonary bleeding prescription sheet, tuberculous meningitis, pleurisy, mycobacteriosis, pneumothorax, peripheral lymph-node TB.

High-level overview

TB is caused mainly by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, transmitted through inhaled airborne droplet nuclei. Disease develops through a host-pathogen interaction, ranging from latent infection to primary, pulmonary, disseminated, and extrapulmonary disease. Diagnosis combines clinical assessment, chest imaging, bacteriology or culture, rapid molecular tests for organism detection and resistance, and selected immunologic tests.
Treatment requires multiple drugs taken in combination for an adequate duration, with directly observed or otherwise supported adherence and monitoring for toxicity. BCG primarily protects young children against severe disseminated TB and tuberculous meningitis. Infection control depends on rapid case finding, effective treatment, contact investigation, and preventive therapy where indicated.

    • Interpretation and documentation
  6. Diaskintest

Overview: These topics cover the foundation of TB diagnosis and prevention. TB is chiefly transmitted by airborne droplet nuclei from a person with pulmonary or laryngeal TB. Laboratory confirmation ranges from rapid microscopy to culture and molecular tests that can identify TB and resistance patterns.
Mantoux and Diaskintest are immunologic tests that indicate sensitization to TB antigens; they do not alone confirm active TB. For exam answers, focus on definitions, procedure, interpretation cutoffs, advantages/disadvantages, and the clinical use of each test.
